What are DVDs, VCDs and S-VCDs?

DVDs

DVD is the abbreviation for Digital Versatile Disc. DVDs

serve to store audio and video data; they are available in 8
cm and 12 cm (diameter) formats. DVDs offer – thanks to
their storage capacity which is many timer higher than CD-
Rs/CD-RWs – a playback duration of the audio and video
data stored on them of up to eight hours.

VCDs/S-VCDs

Video-CD (VCD) and Super Video-CD (S-VCD) describe two

methods for compressed– i.e. to save space – storage of

films on CDs. VCDs and S-VCDs are available in 8 cm and

12 cm (diameter) formats. Their storage capacity is many

times lower than that of DVDs. Therefore they only offer a
playback duration of the audio and video data stored on

them of 20 minutes (8 cm format) and 74 minutes (12 cm
format) respectively

There are two versions of VCDs:

• Version 1.1 VCDs/S-VCDs can only play audio and video

data.

• Version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs have so-called PBC (Playback

Control) functions. In addition, fixed images with high-
er resolution can be played back

What are titles and chapters?

The largest units of picture and sound units on DVDs

are called titles; on many DVDs, the (main) film has title
number 01. For bonus material (e. g. film trailers, back-
ground information etc.), which is available on many DVDs,
other title numbers can possibly be used.

The next smallest picture and sound units below titles are

called chapters. If the title(s) of a DVD is(are) subdivided
into chapters, then numbers are allocated to them and if
these numbers are entered, then the chapters can be se-

lected directly.

Please note that not on all DVDs

• is(are) the title(s) subdivided in (numbered) chapters

• are the chapters also described as scenes (e. g. in the

main menu of DVDs)

What are Scart, S-Video, composite

video?

Scart

Scart describes a 21-pin standard plug-type connection

through which the RGB signals, video signals and S-Video
signals as well as quite a few control and additional signals
are transmitted.

S-Video

When connecting a DVD player to a television via S-Video,

brightness and colour signals are separated; this achieves
a higher focus and a lower so-called “coloured noise”. Col-
oured noise is what one calls the overlaying of the col-
oured, mostly strongly saturated parts of a video image
made by an irregular, turbulent structural disturbance.

Composite video

Video signal or FBAS signal; this is a picture signal in which

both colour and brightness information is contained si-
multaneously.
